  • Peaceful rural site 20 minutes' drive from York
  • Half an hour's drive from North York Moors National Park
  • Easy access from A64 and close to bus stops for day trips
City break, rural rambles and seaside strolls all on your holiday game plan? Off to Yorkshire with you then, and a stay at Fox Hill Holiday Park, just outside the village of Claxton and within easy reach of all of the above, thanks to a rather handy location close to the A64. From here it’s a 20-minute drive south to the fab historic attractions of York, or around half an hour north to the North York Moors for hiking, biking, horse riding and steam train rides. Add in a day or two by the coast (an hour’s drive away) and refresh with a brew in one of the local tea rooms and you’ll start to have an idea why the locals fondly refer to their region as ‘God’s own county’. Fancy leaving the car behind for the day? There’s a bus stop very nearby for trips to York or to the market town of Malton, and a golf course within walking distance. The woods and fields all around are great places to stride forth too, for dogs (and humanfolk) in need of walkies. No lengthy list of entertainment facilities here to distract from the chilled-out country vibe (this place thrives on peaceful times, not parties), but the essential amenities are all here and well-maintained: a food shop and a smart modern toilet block with hot showers and accessible bathroom.

What customers say

A tidy, peaceful spot with welcoming staff. Spacious, level pitches. Toilets and showers always spotless with good hot water. Great dog field. Minor Wi-Fi quirks, but a top base for exploring York.

Helen S.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Nice large field with plenty of space in the middle so didn't feel over looked.
2 toilets and 2 showers just at bottom of field with 1 sink outside to wash pots.

Disliked Although says bus stop outside. And yes there is. Would be helpful for bus times to be shown !! 9.45. 12.45 3.45 to get into York. Last one back was 16.15 (something like that) so not the best times at all especially as takes 50 mins ! Local pub shuts early. Took uber which was £11.95 one way.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Helen, we are glad you enjoyed the spacious pitches.
We have signs displaying the bus times outside reception, and the main toilet block. Unfortunately we are not responsible for the pick up times, and being in a rural location means there can be long waits between the services.

Really clean toilets and shower. Owners…

Local attractions

A day trip to York is pretty much an essential – or, even better, several day trips. See the big sights (the minster, the timber-framed shops of the Shambles and the Jorvik Viking Centre), but also make time to visit the National Railway Museum, take a boat trip on the Ouse river and grab a cuppa and a fat rascal cake at the famed Betty’s tearoom. For a blast of sea air, head over to Bridlington, around an hour’s drive away, for a traditional British beach day out with promenade strolls, funfair rides and donkey rides – perhaps even a spot of paddling in the North Sea for the hardier types. Outdoorsy types should make a beeline for the North York Moors National Park, around half an hour away, for walking trails and traffic-free bike routes across one of the country’s largest expanses of heather moorland. Husky trekking, rafting and ziplining are among the other options for active souls; those who prefer a more leisurely pace may opt to see the landscape from the comfort of a heritage train ride.
